OPCW now presents pitiful sight of politicization – Russian envoy

TASS – June 27, 2018: The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a former Nobel Peace Prize winner, now presents a pitiful sight of politicization and split because of the British and US partners, said Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OPCW Alexander Shulgin on Tuesday (June 26).

(BattleForWorld: It is now obvious that the old OPCW rules of procedure have proven to be ineffective by the West as it was not stinging enough to be an effective weapon to aid in media hype/blitz character assassination to thoroughly abuse the media to manipulate public opinion to approve military attack on Syria based on lies using fake news. And the update to the OPCW rules will now guarantee this. There’s a German word for this action: Gewalt [i.e. multiple ways to execute subversive, force, coercive, etc. actions until successful toward the aim].)

Shulgin noted that: “Once a successful organization and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, the OPCW now presents a pitiful sight of politicization and split. And all that is because of the British and American partners,” he said after the special session of the OSCW Conference of the States Parties that passed the UK-initiated draft resolution vesting the organization with the right to place responsibility for chemical attacks.

TASS – July 18, 2018: The article highlights that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is providing assistance to the UK in order to determine the type of chemical used in Amesbury, according to the press release published on the organization’s website.

The OPCW received a request for technical assistance from the UK on 13 July. In response to the request, the organization sent out a group of experts “to independently determine the nature of the substance that is alleged to have resulted in the death of one person and left another person seriously ill.”

The specialists have collected all samples and returned to the Hague. The samples will be sent to the designated OPCW laboratories. According to the OPCW, “once the results of the analysis are received, the report will be submitted to the United Kingdom.”

TASS – July 1, 2018: The article highlights that Valentina Matviyenko has pointed out that currently the world was facing “a very serious situation when international institutions, international agreements and international rules are being destroyed”.

A change in the mandate of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which assumes accusatory functions, pursues a goal of weakening the United Nations Security Council, Russia’s Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said on Rossiya’1 TV channel in the Vesti on Saturday with Sergei Brilev news program.

“Quite recently, news has broken about a change in the mandate of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

SPUTNIK NEWS – July 4, 2018: According to the statement of UK counter-terrorism chief Neil Basu, two people found unwell at a house in Amesbury on Saturday were contaminated by the Novichok nerve agent, the same toxin that was allegedly used against ex-Russian Intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
